can they sway enough voters to swing the election? we checked in with our independent political strike team and the result, 73% yes, 27% no. so they do think that these debates can sway enough people to swing the election. that's a really crucial thing to say, everybody, because we're hearing that only 5, 6% of americans are undecided. so you might think mathematically there aren't enough undecided people to swing the election, but that's not the verdict of our team. ken vogel is one member who answered no the question, but he does say these debates can be crucial for another key reason and he's the chief investigative reporter for politico. good to see you, ken. always fun to have you on. this is the money game, right? whoever gets the higher score tomorrow, there's going to be a big, big decision. >> yeah, that's right. and it's something where if you look back at history, gallup cruned the numbers over every presidential election between 1960 and 2004. there were only two times where the debates were seen as pivotal in affecting th

>> no, there's a reason the romney camp has been trying to say this election is about the economy. we heard this during 2010. this is a libertarian argument about it's the economy. about reducing the deficit and debt. virtually every poll. who's better equipped to deal with the deficit and debt. the more they play to the religious right on social issues, the more they risk alienaing these centrist voters. >> did you disagree? >> absolutely. the latest polls show that people trust obama more now with the economy. this economy issue solely is a losing issue for romney as the economy improves, but also it fails to reck thiz people care about other things other than just the economy. >> pastor jeffers, if i may, i was making the distinction about not just the economy, but deficit and debt. so, i appreciate your desire to have your nominee really focus on playing to the base in the religious right. that is your prerogative, but you can't rewrite polls to say that's a winning strategy when it comes to reaching out. >> what i'm saying to you is that i think the hunt for these elusive inde

down to election day. in these battleground states across the country, so i think that you know, what you're saying is that bounce that president obama had coming out of the democratic convention has gone away. it's dissipated and more americans are looking at the romney ryan ticket as one that will address issues and will deliver a plan that has impact on middle class americans, that will bring down taxes for all americans. period. there's only one candidate that's actually talking about raising taxes and there's another candidate, the romney ryan ticket, that will cut taxes for all americans. so i think as we go into this, we'll hear a lot more of that. obviously at the debate and this is the next phase f that campaign. >> mitt romney leads according to our poll, on unemployment and the deficit. let me ask you this, ben, because one thing our viewers may assume is that democratic base is now energized and the convention is now partly responsible for that. rece recently, jim -- our new poll, how do you fe

>> no, i just think people sometimes get confused with elections. they try to act like maybe a race can only be about the race or independents. when you're running a presidential campaign, you're trying to do both. trying to make sure your core supporters are excited and energized to come out. taking all the steps with your ground game. but you have to reach out to this slender and small group of undecided voters in the middle what haven't made up their mind yet. some are conservative, some are liberal. they're still up for grabs. so the art of politics is you've got to kind of reach out to both at the same time. all the polls i see show that governor romney has great enthusiasm with the base of our party and if he's tied or better with independents, that means he's in a great position in this race. >> well, we shall see. jen, matt, thanks to both and now, our fourth story. a story of mental illness and drug abuse. tonight, we are learning new and disturbing details about the life of johnny lewis in the months and weeks before he murdered his elderl
